I'm surprised that there isn't a big Star Fox representation. You'd think that they'd be pretty popular with that crowd.

Actually, Star Fox adventures inadvertently created a lot of furries. There was so much Krystal artwork/pornography flooding into the fandom that many websites pretty much banned anything Krystal-related. The same thing happens now with My Little Pony. I think that many "furries" these days, however, are just a few years to young to have been playing Star Fox 64, ect, so it's not insanely huge anymore or anything.

I have absolutely zero interest in the furry fandom/community/whatever you wanna call it (I think it's weird, but to each their own. Everyone has their own 'strange' little hobbies), but I'd love to do commissioned artwork at one of those conventions.

I was a caricature artist in a theme park for a couple years, and I was never particularly good at it, but drawing animals in that caricature style is easy as hell. If I just spent a little time sharpening up my drawing skills, I could probably make pretty decent money setting up a booth and drawing people in their costumes.

You definitely could find customers especially if you charged less than $10. People buy so much art there that $10 would seem like nothing. ^v^

Do most of the artists just bring a bunch of drawings/paintings/whatever with them to sell, or is a lot of the artwork done at the convention with live 'models'?

Some try to sell already made stuff but most people buy custom art. In the furry community everyone has a character that they create (usually it represents themselves in a preferred anthro animal form) called a fursona. People get a lot of art made of their "fursona" in the form of badges or full sized art (character reference sheets or just general art of their character). ^v^
